"Stockpiling ingredients? In that case, let me join in too. Though my Knocking can't achieve permanent preservation like Master Jiro's—keeping them fresh for a few decades or a hundred years is still very easy."
Yuuki said. He also planned to participate in this.
Of course, not with Ki, but purely with Knocking. If he used Ki to preserve the ingredients, he could almost do it permanently.
But there was no need for that, and his Ki was also limited. So, it was best to use Knocking.
"That's good too. Your Knocking proficiency is very high. With your help, we can store even more ingredients."
Setsuno nodded.
While the IGO was already at full throttle, the population of the Human World was simply too large. Tens of billions of people, and their appetites were not small.
This was the age of Gourmet food. The people of this era ate a lot. So, even if the IGO was at full throttle, storing enough food for tens of billions of people for a long time was still a problem. After all, the IGO still needed to continuously transport food to all parts of the world, not just stop the transport and store it all now.
With the help of the two of them—the number of stored ingredients increased rapidly.
And to prevent other creatures from approaching, Yuuki directly killed all the beasts in an entire forest and stored the edible ones here.
At the same time, he also released his own aura, leaving it in the vicinity. After other beasts sensed this aura, they naturally didn't dare to approach anymore.
....
During this period, Yuuki also received news from the Disappearing Cuisine Restaurant. Just like in the original story—Chiyo and the others had still attacked the Food Honor Temple.
But the result this time was different. Because of what he had said before, Chin Chinchin had also given up on persuading her to give up.
He also didn't hold back too much during the battle.
After learning that he was willing to support and help her, she naturally had no need to stay in the Gourmet Corp.
So, after a big battle, she was defeated and chose to quit the Gourmet Corp But because of their battle, Starjun had still managed to capture some Bubble Fruits.
In any case, the result this time was good.
At the same time, the Four-Beast also began to make its move.
Because the Four-Beast would enter the Human World from different directions—the people of the Human World also had to gather in the central area.
It was a good thing the area of the Human World was very large. Even if tens of billions of people gathered in the central area, there was no problem.
But the transfer of tens of billions of people was a problem. So, they couldn't wait until the Four-Beast arrived to transfer.
They had to do it a period of time in advance.
....
This turn of events meant that the IGO—already buried in work, was about to be buried even deeper. And their organization was hardly a monolith.
President Ichiryu's plan was to have the Four Heavenly Kings handle the Four-Beast—but the other member nations were more concerned that the IGO was creating "Saviors" who could one day challenge their own power.
So, in the end, these nations insisted that the IGO's military, as well as their own national armies—be involved.
The IGO had absorbed a great deal of Nitro technology, and combined with their own advancements, their military tech was constantly evolving.
They had developed these forces primarily to handle conflicts, especially with non-member nations, where a few elite powerhouses weren't always enough.
And all of this military technology was shared with their member nations.
The leaders of these nations were average people.
They knew next to nothing about powerful beasts, especially those from the Gourmet World. So, in their minds, sending in their own armies was the logical choice.
Modern armies used remote-controlled weapons. Even if they were defeated, the casualties would be minimal.
To put it bluntly, they wanted to take a gamble.
If they won, they would be the saviors—their power and influence would be more stable than ever before.
If they lost, the damage would be negligible.
Just a few weapons. You couldn't just have them sitting around and never use them, right?
Mansam had tried to persuade them not to waste time and money, but they had insisted. He was helpless. The IGO still needed the support of these member nations.
It wasn't until after Midora's world-ending event that the IGO would truly take control of the entire Human World.
....
Toriko and the others had also finished their Food Honor training.
The talent of these guys was truly immense. All four of them had brought their Food Honor to the master level.
At this moment, the four of them were gathered at the Gourmet Tower. All the businesses in Gourmet Town had closed. With the Four-Beast on its way, even though this was one of the human gathering points, who would be in the mood for shopping?
The only restaurant still open was Chef Yuda's ten-star establishment. But he wasn't open for business—he was hosting the Four Heavenly Kings.
Regardless of whether this incident was a stage set by the IGO for them, the attack of the Four-Beast was real, and the Four Heavenly Kings were going to stop it.
That was also a fact.
So, the Four Heavenly Kings were heroes.
In that case, hosting them was no problem for Yuda.
Yuuki was also here. After all, this was where the main body of the Four-Beast would eventually appear, and it was also where the Medicinal Mochi would be made.
He and Yuda had already met, thanks to Setsuno's introduction.
He had also shown his culinary skills. Yuda's expression at that time had been quite a sight.
For him, Yuuki's existence didn't affect anything. On the contrary, he was happy. For such a talent to appear among the younger generation of chefs in the Human World.
This was someone who could carry the banner of the culinary world. So, Yuda was quite pleased.
....
At this moment, Yuuki was also at Yuda's place, but he was in the kitchen, not the dining room. He had also made a few dishes for the Four Heavenly Kings.
"As expected of dishes made by Chef Yuda and Chef Yuuki! The taste is AMAZING!"
Toriko and the others were currently eating, and at the same time, performing Food Immersion.
A great battle was coming, so all four of them needed to be prepared.
"This guy Yuuki is really getting carried away. The stuff he makes is even better than what Yuda makes!"
Zebra, his face a mask of ferocity, remarked. Among the Four Heavenly Kings, he was the only one who hadn't met Yuuki before. The others had already met him and had some understanding of him.
"Of course! Chef Yuuki is a Super chef on par with Granny Setsuno."
Toriko said. After that, the four of them began to eat like mad. Yuda was responsible for continuously bringing out various dishes.
Soon, Komatsu also brought a perfectly prepared Bubble Fruit.
"Chef Komatsu's culinary skills have improved so quickly! He can already prepare the Bubble Fruit!"
Yuda hadn't known Komatsu before, but seeing his operation now, he was very surprised. After all, even a standout of the younger generation like Chiru couldn't master Food Honor and prepare the Bubble Fruit.
But Komatsu had done it. And how long had he been studying Food Honor?
His growth rate was completely abnormal.
Though he couldn't compare to Yuuki, he had left the chefs of his own age in the dust.
Forget his peers—many of the famous chefs in the culinary world were now no match for him.
....
"Well..."
Komatsu was very happy to hear Yuda's praise, but he quickly took out the autograph book he carried with him.
"Of course, no problem. There won't be a single micron of error!"
Yuda also said his catchphrase. His whole life's pursuit was to have no errors. This wasn't because he had OCD, but because of an experience in his youth.
He specialized in medicinal cuisine. Since it was medicinal, it was inevitable that he would use some medicinal herbs.
When he was young, in one mistake, a child had lost their life. At that time, he had realized that though his cooking was good, it was also very deadly.
Compared to other chefs, the consequences of his mistakes were more severe. So, from then on, he had warned himself that he absolutely could not make a single mistake.
And he had also adopted this catchphrase to constantly remind himself to be careful, meticulous, and not to make any mistakes.
....
After they finished talking, Yuda and Yuuki also ate some of the Bubble Fruit. While everyone had eaten it before, eating it again was no problem.
After they finished, Rin brought out the video that President Ichiryu had left for the four of them.
President Ichiryu was rambling quite a lot in the video. He kept beating around the bush.
And sure enough, before he could finish, Zebra shut the laptop.
"Chef Yuuki, Chef Yuda, we're heading out now! Wait for our good news!"
Toriko said with a smile. After saying goodbye to them, he and the others set off.
Toriko, Rin, and Komatsu rode on Terry Cloth.
Sunny rode his Queen, a member of the Mother Snake species.
Coco rode his partner, the Emperor Crow, Kiss.
And finally, Zebra. While he hadn't found a beast partner, he had taken a trip to the Eighth Continent and had borrowed a Daruma Horse from the Daruma Hermit, the leader of the Hex Food World.
The capture level of this horse was very high, completely incomparable to Terry and the others at this stage. But Zebra hadn't borrowed it to fight—it was just for transportation.
Otherwise, with the Daruma Horse's strength, forget anything else, killing an offspring of the Four-Beast would be as easy as playing a game.
After all, it wasn't his partner, so it wasn't of much use after being borrowed. And the Daruma Horse was massive—when moving in the city, Zebra had to use his sound shield to protect the city.
